GUESSS 2018

Business Foundations, in a collaboration with researchers at Curtin University are proud to host and sponsor the Australian distribution of the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students’ Survey). GUESSS is a large, global research project about student entrepreneurship. In 2018 the project will record over 120,000 student experiences at Universities in more than 50 nations, including Australia. Online survey data is collected over a 6 month window (for Australia ending in 2019 to fit the student calendar) about the ways in which students are exposed to entrepreneurial events, experience’s and knowledge whilst studying. It takes about 45 minutes to complete the survey online. Australian students who complete the survey are eligible to be in the draw to win $2,000 in cash. Your responses are completely anonymous, apart from letting us know what University you are studying at.

The contact point for any enquiry is Dr Geneste via email to L.Geneste@curtin.edu.au or telephone +61 8 9266 7987. We expect the results of this research will allow us to investigate students’ career choice intentions and professional activities.

The de-identified information we collect in this study will be kept under secure conditions by the University for 7 years after the research is published and then it will be destroyed.
